I don't think anyone else has attempted it. Just Atari themselves. Cortina never left the prototype stage.

There was going to be a Web adapter called Cortina for the Jag. So, I think a modem would have been in the works from Atari anyway. So, entirely possible. Yes.

Especially if David Crane would have produced them for the 7800. That would have been an achievement for sure.

That would be nice, considering. I wish they would revive Black Ice/White Noise for the Jaguar, too. That would be really cool as well. But, BJ West won't revive his BI/WN project. Oh, well, just wishful thinking. :O)

One could recreate the Minnie chip on an FPGA or CPLD, however that works. I wouldn't know how to do that, but it is possible that way.

This is true. The music and SFX were pretty paltry on the A7800. The games were pretty good, though.

It looks like American Hero has been released on Windows by gog.com. Interesting stuff. Thanks for letting me share. :O)

Also, Ziggurat Games are rehashing the FMV game "American Hero" for the PC and consoles. This was a lost game which was going to be made for the Atari Jaguar CD unit. I hope they make a limited edition for the Atari Jaguar CD. Interesting stuff. :O)

I think it would be great to see these games on the A7800. They might graphically put the NES versions to shame, but I don't know either. Just a wish, anyway. :O)

I just looked at it. I am glad it's still there, because I never knew this existed. Thanks for posting this. :O)

Retro emulating retro. Interesting concept. :O)

I also have a Pioneer DVD recorder with a 160 GB hard drive. It's normally worth around $300.00, but I got it for around $11.00 from a thrift store in my area. It works great, too. It also has like five or six video inputs in it. :O)

I have a couple of VCRs. I also have a plethora of VHS tapes in my collection. I have a video capture device to capture old home movies and such, but they will be low quality. But, on the flip-side, I am hoping VHS collections will go up in value. That would be cool. :O)

I have an Amiga 2000 in storage. I had bought it from a thrift store here in the States for only about USD$7.50. Believe it or not, that's true! They obviously didn't know what they had, and I got it at that steal of a price. It should still work, too. I haven't used it in years and it has composite video in the back, which means it did something with TV at some point. It does not have a keyboard or a mouse, but I turned it on one time and it was working. It's a great addition to my collection. :O)

Well, we may never know what the Mirai could have been. It could have been the Super XE Atari was thinking about marketing, but we don't know. There are theories abounding about a possible joint venture between Atari and Neo•Geo creator SNK, but no one knows at this time. We may never know. I was watching a video on YouTube about the Mirai. It's interesting. Thanks.

Hello and welcome. :O)

I didn't see the video yet, but I assume it would have had a 65816 CPU, similar to the Lynx. That, if I reckon, is 16-bit.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting. They should have run with this at Atari. It could have been a game change if done right. Does this Mirai prototype work? Or, is it just a mockup?

I know Brad at Best can repair Jaguar consoles, too. He's good at it. Sorry. I forgot to mention him. :O)

You're welcome. :O)

I see. Battlemorph is a great game and what Cybermorph should have been. Anyway, a good rule of thumb is this. I always take the CD unit off of the Jag when I am not playing it for a while. I like to preserve my CD unit, and that is supposed to help it last longer from what I heard from a friend of mine. So far, it rings true for me. It works great. I also have two Jags and two CD units in need of repairs and fine-tuning. Crossface Gaming is one place I want to look into, or Dragon's Hoard, but the money isn't there at the moment. They are experts in fixing those systems. :O)

Yeah, they are quite flaky for sure. Baldies is pretty cool, especially the FMV sequences. They're actually quite funny. :O) The JagGD cartridge uses an SD card not only to read ROMs, but can do CD emulation to a point. But, you need to convert the game to CDI and then JCD to run it on the cartridge. There is a application tool for that, but the CD emulation isn't perfect yet. However, SainT at RetroHQ is working on that. Not all JCD-formatted CD games work on the cartridge yet, but I think Baldies and Dragon's Lair both work on the JagGD cartridge. This is the closest thing to an ODE the Jaguar has, so far anyway. Not only that, it's scarce and expensive to buy: about USD $200.00. The price includes shipping and handling. You're right about one thing, though. The CD unit does look weird. It look like a toilet seat, hence the famous nickname for it. Thanks for letting me share. :O)

This is great news. I hope it works out well. Also, welcome to the Forums, Chubbz.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing this. I didn't know Atari made these. Dazzling stuff. :O)

Is the enamel set entirely in plastic, or do the pins have a pewter frame? Looking nice, by the way. Thanks for sharing, and welcome to the forum. :O)
